What function of maltodextrin???
It plays the role as bulking agents and carriers, as fat replacers, nutrition supplements and high-tech film-formers in a multitude of applications.


What happen when DE increases and when it decreases???
As DE increases, so do the following characteristics:
  • browning (due to the increased level of reducing sugars);
  • hygroscopicity/humectant properties;
  • plasticity;
  • sweetness;
  • solubility;
  • osmolality.
As DE decreases, the following characteristics increase:
  • molecular weight;
  • viscosity;
  • cohesiveness;
  • film-forming properties;
  • prevention of large sugar-crystal formation.
